Let's just say this is a huge source of stress for me with regards to visiting with my ILs. LO has gotten sick several times because they didn't tell us they were sick before we arrived. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-guests-with-kids-that-your-sick#post-2623294 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 17:03:32 +0000 youboots 2623294@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes. But if I'm sick enough I cancel. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-guests-with-kids-that-your-sick#post-2623287 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 16:49:05 +0000 Ajsmommy 2623287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just a quick question ; does your sil have kids?</p> <p>Honesty before I had kids.i didn't understand the cancelling if you or your kid was sick.

Friends without kids, too. Even when I know they won't care and would rather continue with the plans--common courtesy. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-guests-with-kids-that-your-sick#post-2623273 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 15:36:30 +0000 OldpuebloJenn 2623273@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I swear half the time we see our in laws, one of them is sick, but they never have the courtesy to tell us ahead of time. I let people know, even if we think it's just allergies. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-guests-with-kids-that-your-sick#post-2623272 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 15:02:57 +0000 SweetiePie 2623272@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, even just meeting a friend for dinner or lunch I tell them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-guests-with-kids-that-your-sick#post-2623267 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 14:07:42 +0000 FaithFertility 2623267@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Absolutely I tell! A curiosity call or text saying hey I have a slight cold just wanted you to know is so awesome!<br /> If I was flu sick or really had a cold I'd cancel!<br /> Even if we are going to a party if I or DD seem such I give a heads up or don't go </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-tell-guests-with-kids-that-your-sick#post-2623266 Sun, 18 Sep 2016 14:01:10 +0000 Teachermama 2623266@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If you are having a party, do you tell your guests who have kids that you are sick before they come? Or do you cancel the party? Or invite people to your house and share your germs with them?</p> <p>I'm so irritated. We went to a party and my SIL and her mom where both sick but didn't tell me until we arrived. She was coughing everywhere. I was disgusted. Then both my husband and I got it, I was on meds and affected my milk supply. Avoided my baby for a week and she wakes up crying this morning with a fever. GRRR!</p> <p>Why don't people have the courtesy to say, "hey I'm sick, maybe we should cancel the party"? Uncool. *VENT* </p>
